A Full-Scale Emergency Simulation Exercise will take place on November 11 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at the George F L Charles Airport in Vigie, according to the Saint Lucia Air and Sea Ports Authority (SLASPA).
The exercise is part of SLASPA’s ongoing efforts to ensure safety and meet the standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and as a result, flight operations will be temporarily halted during that time.
Unusual activity around the airport is likely related to the exercise and should not cause concern.
In addition, there will be some restrictions on traffic flow along Nelson Mandela Drive, the main route to the airport, during the time of the exercise. Motorists are kindly asked to follow directions from the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force Traffic Department to help maintain smooth traffic flow during this period.
